You are correct in that the name "Jesus" is an English translation of the Greek Ieousus (sky god). The closest Hebrew name is not Yeshua (that is not a Hebrew name, btw) it would have been Yehoshua (Joshua). There is no actual evidence that this man ever existed. But, if he had...
He lived his life as a Jew and as such, he would not have preached that he was doing away with the Torah. The Torah is everything to the Jew. Christians do not understand jewish culture and the term "fulfill the law" means to bring forth a midrash (rabbinic teaching) to make the law more clear. His death would not have done anything to take away the laws of God, which were to be "everlasting throughout all generations", according to the bible.
As to the latter question, I'll ask you this:
If you have a child that you absolutely adore and he or she mispronounces your name, do you ignore them simply because they don't know better?

Jesus was the Greek form of Yeshua (Joshua). Since the languages of Greek, Hebrew and Aramaic would all have been spoken in Judea at the time, He could have answered to both Jesus & Yeshua.
And you're right Jesus never mentioned christianity or any religion for that matter.
Although there is one statement that says " On this rock I will build my church". Rock in Greek is Petra or Peter, and he was talking to Peter at the time he said it.
Christ was not a name - it was a title.

Jesus is the english form of Yeshua. As far as Christ, its not his last name. His parents were not named Joseph and Mary Christ. The proper term would be the Christ. Its a title, like Lord Jesus.
Its a matter of difference in language. I would suggest a little research before you get all bent out of shape over semantics.

Jesus is his name Christ is his title. In truth its actually Jesus the Christ, but you know how people like to shorten things, because "Christ" comes from the Greek word "Christos" meaning "anointed one." No intelligent person would tell you his name is Christ, but Christ is what he is. That's his description "the anointed one." His name, however it may be spelt, whether it be Yeshua or Jesus is immaterial its what he did and said and who he is that matters. Indeed Jesus was Jewish he celebrated the Jewish feasts with his friends, his followers only intended to follow his path wherever that would lead them. Christians only called him Christ after the Greeks had called him Christos, to others he was the Messiah and before that Emmanuel, they are all names to describe Jesus, because he all things to all people.

You need to do more research, Even the Holy Ghost told Mary that she will bare a child & his name shall be called Jesus, & the word Christ means the annointed one, If you want to use Yeshua, that is fine, But to try to deleted the name of Jesus will go against God himself. & Jesus did say that he was the one to come, Now Jesus also has many other names also, He shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The Mighty God, The Prince of Peace, do you want me to go on, I think in a Kind way to say this, Study some-more.

The name we Westerners use, Jesus Christ, is Greek for "Yeshua the Messiah".
Edit: Christ literally means, "Annointed One".

Have you seen the Movie "The life of Brian".
It show you how easily people can be misled.
I actually don't think God/ Jesus/ Jawah, Yeshua, Mohammed, Buddha, Allah, or what ever name your culture calls him, is that pedantic.
I think he understands that we are ALL imperfect humans, and make mistakes, I think he loves us just the same.

The early Christians never intended to start a new religion. They considered themselves Jewish, continued to attend synagogue and Jewish festivals in Jeruslaem, and they rebelled at the thought of converting Gentiles at all.
The name was conceived years later in Gentile churches. It's mentioned in the book of Acts, but I don't recall the verse.
Found it: Acts 11:25-26. It wasn't a Gentile church after all. It was a mixed Jewish/Gentile church in Antioch.

Guess you had better start a new sect called the Yeshuans huh! if you care that much about it.
They probably already thought about calling it the Yeshuan church but decided when it's followers said,... "I'm a follower of Yeshua" others might say,... "Oh no you're not!"

Jesus Christ was a moniker that was added later to describe what he did. It basically was a title, like calling someone a pope.
That's not a perfect example, but I think you'll understand.
